The sun is sleeping quietly Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say I wish for this night-time... I wish for this night-time...
"Sleeping sun" Nightwish
Computer Science

I'm in the lucky position to get paid for doing something I would probably do in my spare time anyway.
I'm especially interested in Software Engineering, automating my development process and Software Quality Management.
I started to write down small recipies for things I think I or someone else might need again.

Rockclimbing

My newest addiction is climbing. I used to go climbing in the imPULSIV in Karlsruhe, but you won't find me there anymore because [external link]The Rock opened in late september. For climbing outdoors we go to the 'Battert' Crag close to Baden Baden to climb (here are a few pictures and here are some more).
